Carolyn Quinn talks to Rafael Behr, political commentator of the New Statesman magazine, about the big political stories including the statement by the Defence Secretary Dr Liam Fox replying to allegations about his working relationship with former flatmate Adam Werritty.

The future of the Defence Secretary is among the topics discussed by the weekly panel of MPs - Conservative Andrea Leadsom and Labour's Stella Creasy.
